    I'd like to create one or more different pouf... at least, we call them here pouf, but you might know them with others names...

    something like this...

    http://www.funfurnitureplus.com/lifewwBlue.jpg

    to sit, sleep, or... on it... :)

    how can I create it?

    do you know a nice website for this stuff? With paper models for the cutting, etc?

    :)

    Around here, those are called "bean-bag chairs"...;)

    Basically, it's a big bag with styrofoam pellets inside. You would need fairly durable fabric, like vinyl or denim.

    I think the pattern pieces would be too big to print out...but I would say just make your own pattern. You need a circle for the bottom, and 5 or 6 long pear shapes for the sides with a small circle for the top.
    You can get packing peanuts from office supply stores.

    This kind of strays off of the idea of the "pouf"(hehe), but I've been wanting to take two bed sheets and sew them together(to make like a giant pillow case) and then fill it up with stuffing and styrofoam to make like a bean bag bed. Think of how fun that would be to lounge on!

    That would be so cool! My friend and I were talking one day about how all types of furniture could be made like beanbags...because it's just soo comfy.

    I was last year at the roskilde festival... and there was a sort of meditative-church made of a big white tent and full of pouff (AKA bean-bag) inside... they were as big as 4-5 beds!!!!
